Possible Roles of Micro RNA‑142‑5p and Claudin-1 in Development of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in Iraqi Patients by Khaled Nather Taha, Farhan Abood Risan, Abdulameer Jasim Mohammed

“…Conclusions: Our data suggest that micro RNA 142-5p may play a role in HT development and pathogenesis through an as-yet-unidentified mechanism, even though serum Claudin1 is not significantly affected in the serum of HT. Chemical thyroid function characteristics at the time of HT manifestation in adults are mostly influenced by the age of the patients and gender. …”

Evaluating the respective role of individual precipitates on the hydrogen trapping ability and locations of a co-precipitation enameled steel via in situ Scanning Kelvin Probe Forc... by Xuejian Fu, Chun Xu, Yu Li, Quanshe Sun, Yuwei Liu

“…To investigate the respective roles of the individual precipitates on the hydrogen trapping ability and locations in enameled steels containing a co-precipitate, in situ Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), correlated with Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microcopy (SKPFM), was employed in this work. Chemical analysis from Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) mapping showed that the co-precipitate was composed of four precipitates, namely Ti4C2S2, Ti(C,N), TiN, and Al2O3. …”
